his comrades of the Grand Army at st.
Louis" I said.
eyes, and don't you know I like that
letter a great deal?"
"Then you approve Of the sentiments
it expresses"
"Most certainly, and all thoughtful
men will take the sane view Of the sub
ject when they reflect calmly upon it.
The incumbent of the Presidential office
is entitled to the respect of the people,
unless he is guilty of some ofense
against public morality and the public
interests. Men may very properly differ
with those in authority as to political
views and measures of public policy, but
it will not do to carry these differences
of opinion to the point Of treating a
President with discourtesy and disre-
spect, simply because there may be men
in public assemblage or on a public
occasion who differ with him politically,
or upon the advisability or non-advisa-
biity of measures of public policy. Ke
is first entitled to that courtesy that is
due to every good and law abiding citi-
zen on el occasions, and second to that
respect which belongs, under the genius
of our institutions, to the position OF
chief magistrate of great, prosperous,
an educated civilized people. "
"Do you hold to the opinion that il
the Force bill had passed Congress the
alleged suppression OF the ballot IN the
South would have been prevented"
ssIhat is something that 20 man can
tell. We can form no adequate idea OF
what the result might have been. But
have very serious doubts abont the
feasibility Of the general government
protecting individual rights or prevent
ing Individual wrongs where the local
government is not willing to interfere II
behalf of the citizens. Free speech, {.
free ballot, and the exercise Of the gen
eral rights OF citizenship are not what
may be termed constitutional rights, but
inherent rights, and # they are denied
in community, the general govern
nent can not interfere, unless the State
authorities invoke that interference.
The failure of the State to call upon the
national government debars it from in
terfering in behalf of those who ere
wronged.'

INVENTOR kEELY,s MOTOR.
He Says it is Nearly Finished--HenewinG
His Past Promises.

Inventor John ". Keely has just
issued printed card OF instructions to
those who may visit his workshop during
the hour set apart for visitors. In it he
says: 81 am now engaged in what I term
the process of graduating or adjusting
my engine, by which mean securing a
regulated and uniform speed or motion
of it. This, when effected, will finish
my work, which viii be known as the
Sympathetic Etheric Motor, and my
new force will then be adapted to COM
mercial purposes. Visitors will observe,
on entering my shop, my power-devel-
oping structure, termed the sSynlpathet-
ic Etheric Liberator, which hangs sus-
pended on the second floor in a tubular
ring, and from which wire of small
diameter, and made of alternate sections
OF platinum and silver, extends to an at
tachment affixed to one end of the shaft
of the engine which I am graduating"
He then goes on to explain the ad-
vantages of his sshberator, and to ex-
patiate on the arduous duties he has
been compelled to perform to reach the
successful control Of the motor on which
he is working. He repeats the promises
he has made for the last ten years to cx-
plain by diagrams, etc., which he shall
publish to the world, the wonderful
mechanism of his motor-when he has
completed his present process Of adjust
ment.

To me the most prominent character.
istic of nearly all men of advanced YEAR,
is their extreme courtesy and g~entleness.
AT the entrance of the Hoffman house
one day a group of young ~collegians
stood roaring W the recollections of q
game of football that had Just been
played at the Polo grounds. A man OF
advanced years, with his head bent
slightly forward, and his hands resting
idly in the pockets of his loose sack coat,
strolled along, and bowling with an anna
Bile smile to the men who blocked the
way, sought to enter the hotel. One or
two of the ~collegians stared at him and
then turned their heads away. He stood
there quietly for a moment, and then
raising his hat said:
Gentlemen, will you permit me to
pass?'
No one answered for an instant, and
then the voice of a lusty quarter back
player from Princeton was heard from
the rear:
Jimmy" he yelled, authoritatively,
''step OF of the way and give that old
man a chance to get in, won't your
Jimmy did IS he was bid, and Mr..
James Anthony Froude, with his hand
still to his hat, bowed and quietly passed
by the group of noisy young men,

The Porte is before the powers again
with n brace of fresh requests, one being
for permission to issue n loan of $25, 900,
600 on the Egyptian and Cyprus tributes,
and the other that the powers will nomin-
ate some candidate for the Bulgarian
throne who will be acceptable to the
Sobranje. Both requests are in the line
of chronic helplessness which has long
been associated with Turkey. The puzzle
in her finances is o she constantly man
ages, when apparently beyond the bottom
of her cash and quite at the bottom of her
credit, to hunt up some new article of
value to pawn or some old one on which
an additional mortgage is possible. With
n billion dollars or so of debt, on which
only fractional interest is paid, she was
able not long ago to pledge some of her
railways for money with which to buy
guns and ammunition. Now comes an
other device, and the wonder is where it
will all end. Perhaps she will begin soop
to sell out some of her islands or outlying
provinces If the powers will allow each
other to buy them.-New York Times.

CUTTING GARMENTS FOR MEN.
How Ready Made Clothing Is Made tc
Fit the Average Customer.

How Ready Made Clothing Is Made to
Fit the Average Customer.
Every man of well proportional figure
can go into a ready made clothing estab-
lishment and purchase a suit that will fit
him tolerably well for a very little money.
There was a time when the prices were
not so reasonable and the fit of the gar
ments not so satisfactory. The ready
made business has been carried to a de-
gree of perfection during the past few
years that has made bankrupts of many
custom tailors Deductions nave been
drawn from experience, experiments have
been tried, and the human figure has
been so carefully studied, hat an average
measurement has been established where
by nine out of every ten men can b. fitted
to their satisfaction.
Tit system Of cutting garments adopted
by the leading establishments is known as
the progressive method" 1t. starts from
the chest measurement md works accord
ing to a law of progression. 1t has been
proved that the figure of a well built man
can be fitted from the chest measurement
elone-in other words, a man who meas
ureS Al inches across the chest will, if
nature has endowed him with q perfect
form, measure 30 "a inches across the
shoulders and % "a inches at the shoulder
blade. These are the fundamental meas
urements of ~tailors, for If a coat fits
snugly at the shoulders other considera-
tions are, with most men, of small i'm
%portance. If a man measures 40 or 43
inches across the chest the other proper
lions increase progressively three-fourths
of an inch around the shoulders int one
half an inch at the shoulder blade for every
additional inch of chest measurement.
Tit trousers are n secondary matter.
They are made of all sizes, to suit long
and short legged men alike
OF course many men cannot be fitted
well in ready made garments. They are
made for the average figure, and not for
the peculiar build of badly formed men.
The progressive method" has proved so
successful that eve custom tailors have
adopted the chest measurement to start
from making other notifications in the
cut of the garments afterward to suit the
proportions of their patrons. Some tailors
advertise by circulars to make perfectly
fitting garments from the measurement Of
the chest alone.-New York Mail and
Express.

There are not more than fifty pug dogs
in st. Louis, n yet they are in great de
mand. The reason they cannot be sup
piled is because they are hard to get.
Their race peculiarities are strange, and
hence they do not multiply as rapidly as
other breeds. Not more than four or five
are had at one litter, and they will not re
tai their breed if crossed. When thus
crossed with other breeds the puppies lose
the characteristics of the pug and re
semble the crossed breed. This is n good
explanation of their rarity. 1t was only
in the last fifty years that these pets of
society could be obtained by everybody.
They were formerly bred by certain mem
bers of the nobility of Europe, and the
strain remained a family possession. The
qualification of being rare was not the
only one that rendered the pug valuable.
He is essentially u pet. l never heard Of
a case where a pug dog had the rabies.
He has an excellent temper, so that he is
safe for children. OF course, he is not r.
fighter or a watch dog, but these are not
qualifications demanded of a pet. He is
delicate, like all lap dogs, liable to become
overfed, but he MAKE up for that by gen
eral amiability. l am a great friend of
the pug, for l do not think he is generally
understood Democrat.

Dom Pedro ii. the reigning emperor,
has passed the anniversary which Victoria
of England has Just celebrated. He
technically took the throne in 1895, upon
the abdication of his father, the son of
John vi. of Portugal. The second Bra
gnnza has done much to endear himself
TO the people and TO commend his admin
istration to the favor of the civilized
world. Upon the question of slavery
his attitude has been one of the utmost
discretion, hberality and good statesman
ship. Though an emperor with large
personal powers, he has permitted him
self to be hemmed about with consider
able constitutional restrictions. His EN-
pire is practically and wisely ruled by a
senate, whose members hold for life, and
Il chamber of delegates, elected every
four years. Upon the converting of the
latter body last month a bill was intro
duced providing practically for the liber-
alton of every one of the 1, 200, 900 negro
slaves in the empire.
The way was already paved for such
an innovation. In 1871 a law was
passed requiring the liberation of all
slaves not registered by their masters by
a certain date. The slaves al that time
numbered 1000, 900, but under the OPP
Grafton of the law up to the present year
500, 900 have been freed. The new
measure contemplatcs the liberation of
those who remain in scrvitude within the
next two years. In effect it declares all
slaves free forthwith, though imposing
certain conditions which amount TO a de
lay Of WI years. Thus all freedmen
will be required to remain two years with
their present masters upon n just salary.
From this condition are exempted slaves
over fifty years of age, others who are
able to purchase their instant freedom,
and also those who meanwhile inter
marry with freedmen or women.-Chi-
cage Herald.

l am surprised hat the public do not
know that it is n difficult thing to see a
ball while facing the grand stand. The
other day n ball was batted at Foutz
while he was pitching and he lodged it.
The crowd yelled rats and coward. :"
The fact is, Dave could hardly see the ball,
not because it was necessarily swift, but be
cause it was the same color as the grand
stand which he was facing. Nearly every
spectator has played ball only in an open
field where he had n horizon line, above
which the ball could easily be seen against
the sky. But in an inclosed field it is a
difficult matter to see a ball well black.

that causes so many of the mysterious
muffs and misses which the public can see
no excuse for.-BasebaIl Player in

Inconsistencies enters into the gener-
ally accepted definition of epilepsy. While
this Inconsistencies is n symptom of the
disease in the vast majority of cases, there
are some exceptions. TIT following is a
case in point:
A married woman of 80 years had occa-
sional epileptic attacks Of the usual on
vulsive kind; but more frequently when
seized, she would scream, turn pale, cry
out, jump from the bed and run about the
room, acting absurdly and at times VIC
lently. On one seizure she bit her hus-
band. On coming out Of the attack she
asked If she had one this. AT another
time, she threw the inkstand at her moth
er's head, and fully recalled the fact her
self with much sorrow.
1t is believed that attention in this di-
rection would show n considerable num-
Der of such cases. The matter may have
important legal bearings, inasmuch as ep-
ileptics who commit deeds of violence are
held to be irresponsible on the ground of
their Inconsistencies. Youths Com

"Where did the habit OF putting a flax
seed in the eye in order to remove n for
eign substance come from?" asked a re-
porter. at is a very old superstition, ~
replied his medical friend. ''There is nc
foundation for it in fact, and the state,
ment that it chases the foreign substance
around INT around under the lid is the
sheerest nonsense. Putting in n flaxseed
simply adds fuel to the flame. 1t is fortu,
nate that the seed is comparatively
smooth and unirritating, or otherwise the
fallacy would be a serious one. A similar
humbug is n stone from a crabs eye,
which is simply the crystalline lens of the
eye Of a crab hardened by boiling. -
